The Compassionate Care Bereavement Program
A program that consists of a variety of Bereavement Support Services and Events that our Hospice Society provides to aide in ones overall bereavement and mental health journey, prior to or following, the death of their loved one.
The program includes both structured and unstructured group or individual bereavement supports sessions, memorial events, bereavement initiatives, holiday support, companionship, art therapy, nature therapy, group activities, death cafes, and grief education.
There are three needs of a griever: to find the words for the loss, to say the words aloud, and to know that the words have been heard.
